Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Africa: In Africa, PET prices weakened as limited beverage and packaging demand, combined with subdued downstream purchasing, pressured the market. The keyword price index moved lower as steady import arrivals created oversupply conditions, particularly in coastal regions. While raw material availability remained balanced, sluggish consumer-driven consumption failed to support higher procurement, resulting in bearish sentiment across distributors and processors during this quarter.
Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, PET prices declined as muted buying interest from packaging converters weighed on market activity. The keyword price index reflected a slowdown in exports due to weaker international orders, while domestic demand in food and beverage applications offered limited cushioning. Operating rates among producers remained high, but the presence of adequate inventories and cautious procurement kept overall pricing under pressure.
Europe: In Europe, PET prices fell sharply, led by sluggish seasonal demand from the packaging and bottling industries. The keyword price index dropped as oversupply concerns grew, with distributors reporting elevated stock levels and reduced contract purchases. Lower feedstock costs, along with competitive import availability from Asia, further eroded price sentiment. Despite marginal support from recycling activity, demand from converters remained insufficient to stabilize values.
India: In India, PET prices increased on the back of firm demand from packaging and bottling industries, particularly as consumer goods and beverage sectors showed stronger procurement momentum. The keyword price index reflected heightened seasonal orders, with converters stepping up purchases to replenish inventories. Stable feedstock supply supported production levels, while resilient domestic demand provided additional traction to regional prices. Export opportunities remained modest but did not detract from the bullish trend locally.
South America: In South America, PET prices edged lower amid cautious procurement by downstream packaging and consumer goods manufacturers. The keyword price index moved downward as supply remained steady, yet demand from converters was insufficient to absorb available volumes. Imports from Asia added competitive pressure, limiting suppliers’ ability to raise prices despite some recovery signals in domestic consumption.
Southeast Asia: In Southeast Asia, PET prices declined moderately as demand from packaging converters and bottling companies remained subdued. The keyword price index was influenced by weak international trade flows and cautious buying behavior among distributors. Although feedstock PTA and MEG supplies remained balanced, abundant regional availability created oversupply conditions that capped any upward price potential.
North America: In North America, PET prices strengthened due to robust demand from beverage and packaging sectors, which improved procurement activity across the quarter. The keyword price index showed gains, supported by higher consumption during the peak season and improved downstream processing activity. While feedstock availability remained steady, supply tightness in certain areas amplified upward momentum, helping regional suppliers secure stronger margins despite global bearish trends.

The bottle uses Eastman’s chemically recycled PET, delivering performance equivalent to virgin resin, thus offering a real-world scalable solution for full circularity in beverage packaging.
- April 2023: Sonoco announced that its high-barrier paper-based structure, EnviroFlex Paper Ultimate (ULT) 1.0, had received How2Recycle free qualification and met all requirements of the Fiber Box Association’s Voluntary Standard for Repulping and Recycling. This recognition supports Sonoco’s ongoing efforts in innovative and sustainable packaging.
- February 2022: Alpha Packaging introduced a new Eco-line of its popular PET packers. These packers use lighter weight and recyclable materials, offering a more sustainable solution while maintaining performance.
Product Description
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a thermoplastic polyester resin formed by the polycondensation of terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol (MEG). It is characterized by high tensile strength, clarity, lightweight properties, and excellent barrier performance against gases and moisture, making it highly suitable for packaging. PET is widely used in producing bottles, containers, films, and fibers, with key applications in the food and beverage industry, textiles, and industrial products. It offers recyclability, allowing conversion into recycled PET (rPET), which is increasingly utilized to support circular economy initiatives. PET can be processed via injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion, making it versatile across packaging, consumer goods, and industrial applications. Its chemical resistance, durability, and adaptability with additives and reinforcements further enhance its role as a preferred material in global manufacturing.
